Moving quickly towards the end of the year and looking forward to our Christmas Lunch on December 8th. The Last Family Friendly Activity Day for 2024 was held in November and everyone enjoyed the relaxed vibe. We have been offered funding to continue into 2025.  The Port Augusta Secondary School senior students art exhibition was a success and brought some new visitors into the gallery. Congratulations to The recipients of the Melva Waterman award 2024.                    PASS - Emma Newbury  Caritas - Rachel Packard The Port Augusta Writers launched their new anthology to a happy audience, well done everyone. The Photographer's theme over the holiday season is "MOVEMENT". Beyond Bank continues to support the gallery with their display.
